2.11 Air Connection
The TRAK machines have an air hookup in the rear of the machine only if they come with a CNC Turret
option.
The air regulator pressure is set to 90 psi at the factory for the turret unit.
2.12 Mounting the Display Pendant
The ProtoTRAK RLX display pendant mount differs depending on which lathe is being installed. The pendant
is held with 4 socket head cap screws. There is a locating screw on the pendant arm to help align the
pendant with the mounting holes.
Make sure the pendant rotates freely from side to side only on the 1845RX and 2470RX. On the 1630RX,
the pendant is stationary.
2.13 Cable Interconnections
All cable interconnections are made at the factory except for those connecting to the pendant display.
There are 2 cables that need to be connected to the pendant.
With the main power to the machine turned off, plug in the Pendant I/O cable (SWI 22556-15: DB25
connectors on both ends) and the Ethernet patch cable (SWI 22432-5-xx). Figure 2.13b shows the
connectors on the rear of the pendant.
Make sure there is sufficient slack in the cables for when the pendant is rotated about the pendant
arm. The following drawing describes all of the cable and other connections to the pendant.
